- When the internet first started, sites like Yahoo! curated the internet
- Now its 99% auto-curated, but with bias
- Humans used to determine if sites were useful
- Now its junk - reducing the human input really messed up the internet
- Google originally used "PageRank" to rank sites, which is sort of human-curated
- Not like that anymore, now its all tweaked and redesigned
- They created an algorithm that obfuscates the user from the content
- Google or Facebook control what content people see
- Let's bring back hand curation - maybe then we'll actually see sites of quality again
